I just saw a kitchen on HGTV’s Spice Up My Kitchen with the same finishes as mine. I’m sure there are others out there too (I’m not claiming mine is all that unique), and of course there were differences, but it was just sort of funny to see.

Like mine, this kitchen has white cabinets, a white subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, yellow walls, brown quartz countertops, and wood floors. The kitchen also had a red blender and coffee maker, whereas I have a red stand mixer.

Sometimes I look at my kitchen and wish I had done certain things differently. If we had a bigger budget, I could have done so much more. Our kitchen only cost 1/4 of what the kitchen above did though!

admittedly, anthony decided on how we’re doing our kitchen and it is going to be quite similar to yours as well. We’re doing the same cabinets (plus adding a shelf underneath those just to set our plates on to add more color), the white subway tiles (hence why we tiled our window sill with those), but we’re going to do a dark wood countertop. I’m hoping to find some terra cotta tiles for the floor, but I haven’t yet. We’ll probably just do some travertine instead. We’re doing white appliances though and we’re putting our washer and dryer underneath the counter. And adding a pantry where they are now. No clue on wall color yet.

Your kitchen is amazing and so well put together. It puts the HGTV kitchen to shame. I LOVE your style, your decisiveness and your blog! Always inspiring and unique. One of my favorite blogs I come back to again and again. Plus you’re funny. Rock on.

your kitchen is awesome! one thing i noticed is that we have the same appliances in the hgtv kitchen. personally, i love the range because it’s a double oven, but i like the finishes in your kitchen because they have a lot of personality. did you guys tile your own backsplash?

Just stumbled across your website and love it. My kitchen is very similar to yours and the one on “Spice Up Your Kitchen”–white cabinets, black accents, red KitchenAid appliances, etc. I’ve been trying to figure out what type of tile to install on the backsplash, and now you’ve got me leaning toward the white subway. Looks great.

IKEA sells kitchen cabinets? I am in the process of re-doing my kitchen. I also have the old fashioned dark wood cabinets. I am going to paint the cabinet boxes white and buy just the white doors. I didn’t IKEA sold cabinets.

my kitchen is also very similar to yours. But didn’t do the backsplash yet. I was also thinking white subway tiles but am also thinking white subway glass. I can’t decide. I went through a color phase also for the backsplash but think I’m staying with white for that classic look. Any suggestions?
